Shopping during a huge sale is my favorite pastime, simply because I refuse to buy anything unless it’s discounted. It’s a big reason why I’ve been waiting for Amazon Prime Day to buy items I’ve been eyeing this summer—and prices are so cheap, they start at $20.

Amazon Prime Day 2024 is one of the biggest sales of the season, with items marked down on home, kitchen, fashion, and beauty from brands like Apple, Laneige, and Le Creuset. As Real Simple’s Amazon shopping expert, it is quite literally my job to find the best deals around. Fortunately for me, this research gives me hidden intel on the steepest sales from names like Grace Karin, Cupshe, KitchenAid, and Cadence, all of which happen to be on this editor-approved list below. 

Amazon Prime Day Editor-Approved Deals

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

 Amazon LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask: Nourish & Hydrate with Vitamin C, Antioxidants, 0.7 oz.

 Amazon 

Orig. $24 $17 at Amazon

The best-selling Laneige lip mask rarely goes on sale, but right now it’s marked down to its lowest price ever for Prime Day. I love stocking up on this beauty gem, which hydrates and softens lips overnight, leaving me with an ultra-soft pout come morning. That’s because it’s formulated with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin C, coconut oil, and shea butter. It’s available in multiple scents, but my favorite is berry. 

Grace Karin Short-Sleeve V-Neck Smocked Waist Dress

GRACE KARIN 2024 Women's Summer V Neck Smocked Cotton D

Amazon

Orig. $57 $47 at Amazon

I can’t resist a flowy dress in the summertime, like this breezy midi option from Grace Karin. Designed with a smocked bodice, a conservative V-neckline, and semi-puffed sleeves, this dress is perfect for brunch, church, or just a day out and about. I also appreciate that it’s mainly made with cotton to deliver that breathability factor I’m looking for when the temps get in the 90s. 

Anne Klein Rubberized Link Bracelet Band for Apple Watch

Amazon Anne Klein Rubberized Fashion Bracelet

Amazon

Orig. $70 $47 at Amazon

I recently bought an Apple Watch Series 9 with the classic sport band, which is ideal for workouts and outdoor activities. However, I’ve been wanting to buy another band that’s elevated for parties or events. The Link Bracelet is just the thing; I like its rubber links and rose gold hue that’ll go nicely with my other accessories. This way, it’ll look more like jewelry than a smart watch. 

Cupshe Knotted Scalloped One-Piece Swimsuit

CUPSHE Women's One Piece Swimsuit

Amazon

Orig. $45 $37 at Amazon

My swimsuit collection is filled with high-waisted bikinis, but 2024 is the summer of the one-piece bathing suit. This Cupshe one-piece swimsuit is the happy medium between the two, giving me coverage while still delivering bikini vibes, thanks to its fun cutout. Also, just look at this scalloped design! It’s truly so adorable, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. 

Color Wow Dream Coat for Curly Hair Mist

Color Wow Dream Coat for Curly Hair

Amazon

Orig. $24 $20 at Amazon

My hair is one of my favorite features, but it has a mind of its own, especially when the humidity hits. That fact was evident on my recent trip to Jamaica, and I couldn’t do anything to tame the frizz. My cousin, who is a native and used to the tropics, looked like she just got a fresh blowout, and credited the Color Wow Dream Coat for calming strands and keeping her look intact. I love that it’s  specifically created for curly hair that’ll define my waves, too. 

KitchenAid 3.5-Cup Food Chopper

Amazon KitchenAid KFC3516IC 3.5 Cup Food Chopper

Amazon

Orig. $60 $45 at Amazon

Crafting my own sweet treats gives me pure joy, and this KitchenAid food processor will be my new sous chef. I’m planning to use this device to make healthy peach ice creams, raspberry sorbets, and chocolate mousse—that’s just the half of it. The food chopper is equipped to blend ingredients without extra liquids, unlike a blender, ensuring that I’ll get that thick, creamy consistency I’m looking for. Plus, I can also use it for homemade salsa, hummus, and pesto. 

Cadence Skincare Set Travel Containers 

Cadence Travel Containers - Skincare Set - Magnetic Travel Capsules

Amazon

Orig. $42 $34 at Amazon

Packing all my skincare essentials can be tedious, and oftentimes, I end up bringing mini face washes and creams that I don’t normally use. That’s all changing now that I’m opting for these travel containers from Cadence. I already love the brand’s body care set, and this trio pack comes with mini twist-on capsules for my favorite cleansers, daytime moisturizers, and night creams. Plus, they have a magnetic design that keeps the capsules together for easy access.  

Le Creuset Mini Round Cocotte

Le Creuset Stoneware Mini Round Cocotte, 8 oz., Flame

Amazon

Orig. $25 $22 at Amazon

I love the idea of finding single-serve recipes for girlies who live alone. And everything is even cuter when made in this Le Creuset mini cocotte. I have one in a pretty purple color, but can’t help but get another one in a summery shade, like this bright orange pick. Designed with stoneware materials, this cocotte can be used in the broiler, oven, and microwave, making it super versatile. So far, I’ve baked cornbread, made soups, and even stuck it in the freezer to set chocolate mousse in it. 

Gap Linen-Blend Easy Shirt

Amazon GAP Women's Linen Easy Shirt

Amazon

Orig. $60 $21 at Amazon

Classic polos aren’t just for work anymore; the new “in” thing is to layer them over tank tops and even wear them as a swimsuit coverup. And because Gap is my go-to for essentials, I’m gravitating toward this button-down linen shirt that’s up to 66 percent off right now. The classic top has a collar, a breast pocket, and a long hem, which is great for knotting or tucking in my jeans. 

It Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream

Amazon IT Cosmetics Confidence in an Eye Cream

Amazon

Orig. $48 $29 at Amazon

I’ve been using this It Cosmetics eye cream for months now, and I can attest to its magical powers. The dark circles under my eyes are significantly lighter and I notice I have less creases in that delicate under-eye area. Clearly, I’m due for a restock now that it’s down to just $29 for Prime Day. 

Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste 

Amazon Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste

Amazon

Orig. $16 $12 at Amazon

Toothpaste may not be the sexiest thing to shop for, but it is a definite essential on my list. I have sensitive teeth, which is why I’ve always been afraid of using whitening strips. I tried this Colgate whitening toothpaste at my mom’s house and noticed a difference after a few uses. I’ve been waiting for the pack to go on sale before buying, although you can shop it in single and two-pack options, too. 

Tovolo Glide-A-Scoop Ice Cream Tub

Amazon Tovolo Glide-A-Scoop Ice Cream Tub

Amazon

Orig. $30 $25 at Amazon

Step one to making homemade ice cream is the above food processor. Step two? This ice cream tub that lets me set and freeze the mixture until I’m ready to devour my dessert. It has a slender build that looks easy to scoop out froyo and comes with a lid for sanitary purposes.  

Madewell Small Transport Crossbody

Amazon Madewell Women's The Small Transport Crossbody

Amazon

Orig. $128 $116 at Amazon

I’ve been using the larger version of this crossbody for years, but it’s so beat up, I’m thinking it’s time for a refresh. The Madewell Small Transport Crossbody is more compact in frame, which I like since there are times when I just want to carry a book, lip balm, and keys. It also has small exterior and interior pockets to stash tiny items as I dash out the door, like a hair clip or my phone. 

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion

Amazon

Orig. $12 $9 at Amazon

My skin has always been dry, but I opt for lightweight creams in the summertime, like this Aveeno body lotion. It absorbs into my skin nicely, smells nice, and doesn’t leave an oily residue, like some other thicker creams.  

Nalodu Rectangle Hair Claw Clips 

Nalodu Rectangle Hair Claw Clips

Amazon

Orig. $12 $8 at Amazon

Claw clips have made their way back into my hair accessory drawer, and I’m kind of addicted to them. I love the elevated look of these claw clips, which come in solid matte colors and glossy brown and clear options. And because they’re fairly long, they should hold my hair up and out of my face all day. 

Stasher Silicone Reusable Bowl Five-Pack

Amazon Stasher Premium Silicone Reusable Food Storage Bags

Amazon

Orig. $27 $21 at Amazon

With all the cooking I do, you can bet I’m always reaching for a Stasher bag to store cut vegetables, snacks, and leftovers. I even use this half-gallon bag to marinate salmon! But I’m intrigued by these silicone bowls, which are made from the same silicone materials, but have a flat bottom to keep food upright. I’m thinking these would be great for lunches to the office since the mouth actually stays open for easy eating. 

There are tons of other Prime Day deals happening right now. Scroll through the Amazon sale hub for even more sales, while the event is still underway.
